Product Information
Full details
The Portwest S899 Chefs Skull Cap is designed for culinary professionals seeking a comfortable, durable, and clean head covering. Its key benefit is the premium stain-resistant finish that effectively repels common kitchen spills, maintaining a professional appearance throughout the workday. A potential consideration is that while adjustable, it is a one-size-fits-most item, which may not suit all head sizes perfectly. This skull cap features Kingsmill fabric for superior performance, a hard-wearing twill construction for longevity, and an adjustable hook and loop closure for a custom fit.

How do I adjust the fit of the skull cap?
The cap features a hook and loop adjustment strap at the back, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and security.
What material is the S899 skull cap made from?
It is made from Kingsmill Polycotton, a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton, weighing 190g.
Can this cap be washed in a machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. Follow the care instructions for best results, typically a moderate temperature wash with mild detergent.
Is this cap suitable for heavy grease environments?
The Texpel finish offers good resistance to grease and oil, making it suitable for many kitchen environments. However, very heavy or prolonged exposure may eventually lead to staining.
What are the washing recommendations to maintain performance?
Wash at a moderate temperature (around 40°C), use a mild detergent, and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Air drying or low tumble dry is recommended.

Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook and loop strap. If still uncomfortable, this size may not be suitable.
Stains are not repelling effectively.
Ensure the Texpel finish has not been compromised by harsh detergents or excessive wear. Wash according to care instructions. For very stubborn stains, pre-treat gently before washing.
